Fox: The X-Files
Seem like I'm about 23 years behind on this one?
(Jesus, 23 years?!) Apparently not. Fox is in talks with Chris Carter to bring it back, including having David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise Scully and Mulder. Nothing creative yet, just seeing how schedules line up, but still... Also having (unrelated of course) talks about bringing back Prison Break and running a Kiefer-free version of 24 (not sure how that would work; he was that snow). |

Just wanted to pop in here & say thanks to Netflix I'm addicted to the X-Files. I was a kid during the original run but am about halfway through S1 and I'm hooked. I'm hoping to just watch the series all the way through but that might take awhile (and it sounds like I should just avoid the movies).
Hope the new episodes are as good as the ones I'm watching. |

If you like the alien conspiracy story line, you should like the movie.
I'm in the minority, but I think the second movie was pretty good. I think a lot of people were expecting another alien plot and were disappointed. I don't have any faith in the shows creators to "fix" the alien conspiracy story, so I was more than happy when they ignored it. Last edited by Mennonite; 01-01-2016 at 03:27 PM.. |

I thought the second movie was terrible. But just because it was bad. I'd have been fine with non-mythology if it had been a good movie.
As I recall, only the first and last episodes of the new season are mythology, so it's going to mostly be motw. And they're changing up the mythology in some way. Perfect time for the show to come back, in any case. Government mistrust at an all time high and we all know we're being watched by shadowy figures 24/7. |

Also, to piggyback off your other post, I agree that season 6 is INCREDIBLY underrated. It is 7, imho, that the ship starts going off course. 6 gets lumped in due partially to being filmed in LA, and having the feel of 7-9. Oh and the Diana Fowley disaster. But mythology and MOW are all there in 6. Triangle and Arcadia are two of my all-time favorites. Just the pacing and filming of Triangle, plot aside, is gold. Drive, SR 819, the Unnatural. I could go on. Two Fathers and One Son is the near culmination of the Mytharc, and are fantastic. The problem is that with the end of One Son, the difficulty in continuing the mythology becomes hard to overcome. Couple that with Duchoveny leaving and the feel of Vancouver gone, it was a tough ask. |

Enjoy. I'm sure we would all love to relive seeing them for the first time. I watched them as a young teenager with my father and step-mother on the weekends. Quite literally was the first bridge after my parents divorce. |

I loved the first three seasons. Season 2 is my favorite, but 3 is almost as good. Season 5 is my least favorite; "Folie À Deux" being the only really good episode.
6 has some good stuff like "Monday" (which features the daughter of Carol Burnett and the son of Billy Drago) "Terms Of Endearment" (with Ash) and "Drive" (Heisenberg). Seasons 7, 8, and 9 feature some solid, if not always spectacular, Monster of the Week episodes. I think those final seasons are underrated by a lot of the fans. Oh, and I liked the plot of the second flick. |

never watched this show religiously...just here and there. netflix has it all there...all 9 seasons...so the last few weeks I've been jumping on the treadmill, firing up an episode and walking until it's done.
I'm most of the way thru season 1....it's not bad...but it's not great either. but I'll get thru them all eventually. I think I'll DVR the new stuff and not watch it until I've gone thru the first 9 seasons...but we'll see. to this point the biggest surprise to me is how YOUNG Scully looks. mulder too...but man Scully looks like a child. she's so much hotter in Hannibal.

Soooo...reviews are a universal 'it sucks'.
Hopefully it's not that bad, or at least there's something to like, but be prepared for the worst. |

The reviews I've seen are that the first episode sucks, but the second and third ones are pretty good.

Gotta admit, I clapped when the theme song started. Skully is not as hot.
End review. Last edited by eDave; 01-24-2016 at 09:37 PM.. |

She hasn't lost that much weight.

Welp, not thrilled roughly halfway into the first episode.
